How to Make Chive And Garlic Croutons

  1. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add 2 cloves of minced garlic and 1/4 cup of chopped fresh chives to the skillet. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Add 4 cups of cubed day-old bread (about 1 inch cubes) to the skillet and toss gently to coat with the garlic-chive butter mixture. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until the bread is lightly toasted and the liquid is mostly absorbed.
  4. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  5. Spread the bread cubes in a single layer on a baking sheet.
  6. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy, stirring halfway through.
  7. Remove from oven and let cool completely on a wire rack before storing.
  8. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Sprinkle generously over your favorite salads or soups!
